## Summary
Carl, an automated agent, implementing on Wes's request.
Fix ordinary Desktop dev checkouts being misclassified as linked
worktrees when launched through `just production`, `staging`, or other
recipes that source `instance-env.sh` from `desktop/`.
From the repository root, Git reports both directories as `.git`. From
`desktop/`, it can report an absolute `--git-dir` and `../.git` for
`--git-common-dir`. The textual comparison treats them as different and
chooses a branch-suffixed app profile (for example `.dev.main`) instead
of the canonical `.dev` profile populated by the agent-adoption script.
- Request `--path-format=absolute` for both paths. Actual linked
worktrees still have distinct Git/common directories and retain their
existing isolated app identities.
- Add eight isolated fixture cases executing the real environment script
with real Git: ordinary root/subdirectory on main and feature branches,
linked root/subdirectory, detached linked subdirectory, and symlinked
ordinary subdirectory. Paths contain spaces. Only native icon generation
is stubbed; no user profile, keychain, app, or relay is accessed.
- Run the regression in the existing always-run CI contract job.
No agent migration, global-settings copy, keychain changes, profile
merging, branch-label redesign, or packaged-release behavior changes.
Existing Git `--path-format` support is required (Git 2.31+).
### Related issue
Searched open PRs for `instance-env` and worktree titles, and open
issues for dev-profile/adoption reports. No matching path-normalization
fix found.
- #7142 touches `instance-env.sh` for descriptive labels. This fix is
independent; it uses a distinct test filename to avoid colliding with
that PR's new `test-instance-env.sh`.
- #6915 proposes a separate release-profile launch recipe; this fix
preserves the current dev-profile contract instead.
### Testing
At exact head `0a09a2f3716b0378546b66be2302b750ed4330b9`:
- `scripts/test-desktop-instance-detection.sh`: **8/8 passed**.
- Before the production change, the same regression failed on the
ordinary checkout's `desktop/` case: actual
`xyz.block.buzz.app.dev.main`, expected `xyz.block.buzz.app.dev`.
- `bash -n scripts/instance-env.sh
scripts/test-desktop-instance-detection.sh`: passed.
- `git diff --check`: passed before commit; pre-commit and commit-msg
hooks completed.
- Applicable pre-push gates passed: branch-skew, push-head-scope, and
file-size policy (6 tests plus all three entrypoints).
Rust/Desktop/Mobile package lanes were correctly inapplicable to this
shell/CI-only diff.
No native app launch or first-boot key import was performed. The
validated boundary is the generated launch environment/profile identity,
not successful agent startup. Hosted CI has not been checked or
represented as green.
